Off the Wagon

Man. Last summer I did SO good on Atkins. Now I suck. I'm still doing mediocre but not faithfully and I want to SOOOO bad. But I'm having a hard time with a few things. Mostly my sweets cravings. I know they went away last time but I'm having trouble staying off of them long enuff for them to go away kwim?

Plus. I have this problem. If I do not take some sort of diet pill to help make me NOT hungry. I will go in the kitchen and eat, and eat and eat way past full. I have no idea why it pisses me off and makes me disgusted with myself. I eat when I'm not hungry just because it sounds good and I know it tastes good. And I just keep going. Why do I do this? I assume I have some sort of overeating problem. If I were Dr Phil I'd say it was because I was molested as a child and I think if I'm fat no one will be tempted to mess with me. But I really don't feel that way. I just love food, the taste and eating it. If I'm not bloated I think I'm hungry so I go eat til I feel THAT bloated feeling again . Once it wears off and I'm finally comfortable again? I go eat more. GOOD LORD help me here. Is anyone else like this? I think I could just be huge if I didn't stop sometimes like I do. If it weren't for diet pills I'd be twice my size. How do you physically NOT go eat when you want to? I can't control my own body?!?!??!?! I'm weak. I hate it. My mom and I joined Curves today. So we will begin on Monday. I'm hoping that will help something. I just hate myself

Pink, have you thought of checking out Overeaters Anonymous? I think that you could gain a lot of insight by reading their literature and attending meetings. It's not easy to break our addiction to food.

you are not weak - you quit smoking

A friend of mine joined Curves - she loves it and it has done wonders for her physically and with her self-esteem. I think you'll really like it !

for the encouragement

I'm really excited about Curves tonite. My first visit. And I have thought about getting involved in that but I'm too embarrassed to

We live in a small town and I am just too shy to admit that....sigh.

Aww pink, don't be embarrassed. If Curves doesn't do it for you maybe you can find an online or phone meeting. Good luck.
